3 Known Issues and Limitations
1. Occasionally the receiver will report a "ramoops" error at startup time, increasing the
overall time-to-first-fix by 2 seconds.
2. When configuring the receiver to broadcast or multicast data (e.g. SBF, NMEA) over UDP,
on the "Ethernet over USB" network interface, the data is transmitted twice. Unicast UDP
and other network interfaces are not affected by this.
3. It is not possible to upgrade the receiver using mobile Safari on iOS devices.
4. If more than one user simultaneously changes settings via the web interface, the resulting
configuration of the receiver may not be consistent.
5. IPS connections may stay visible in the web interface after the client has been
disconnected.
6. Firewall on computers can delay accepting connection by up to 4 minutes. Before using
IPR functionality ensure that the desired IP port is enabled on your computer.
